What Deferred Action Means for Our Nation's Undocumented Young people?

Even
before the deferred action policy was implemented, thousands of
undocumented immigrants were trying to gather information about the
process. They are happy about the implementation of the process and
the forms that are made available by the USCIS. Form I-821D,
is the form that must be filed by an applicant who is eligible to
receive deferred action. This process has provided hope and the
undocumented immigrants who are
in deportation proceedings are waiting to see if they could get a
chance to stay back in America.

Deferred action process is considered
to be important, because this process will defer the deportation of
eligible immigrants and will permit them to work and stay in the
United States, for two more years and it may be renewed at the end of
the two-year period. Undocumented immigrants who seek lawful status
in the United States are happy about the process and are willing to
undergo all the paper work and pay the required fees. This shows that
they are so keen in remaining in the country. Though this process
does not grant lawful status to the undocumented immigrants, it
grants them employment authorization so that they may work in the
United States legally, if they are granted deferred action.

Students
who are in deportation proceedings or with a final removal order, if
granted deferred action need not leave the United States and they may
continue their studies, in the United States. Thousands of
dreamers are awaiting to get help in order to apply for deferred
action. USCIS has already
instructed the eligible applicants to mail their applications to one
of the four USCIS offices around the country. USCIS has said
that more personnel may be hired to process the I-821D
applications.

Many
undocumented immigrants who had entered the United States as children
are now in schools or high schools and they all are rushing to file
applications to request deferred action. Though this is only a
temporary relief, eligible undocumented immigrants consider this to
be a great relief. Many of them who were smuggled to the United
States at a very young age, are now in schools and some are graduated
and employed. Some of them say that the deferred action process is
the only chance for them to remain in the United States. Similarly
they are also worried whether the details that they provide will put
their families at the risk of deportation.

Most
of the eligible undocumented immigrants are collecting papers that
are necessary to prove their eligibility to receive deferred action.
Though they are in the United States as undocumented immigrants, they
have their roots in the United States and they had been residing in
the United States for a long time and they do not want to leave the
country. They also say that they do not know about their native
countries. Hence, this deferred action process means a lot to them,
as they feel that this is a chance given to them by the country to
remain there, at least for a two-year period. As this process will
grant them work authorization along with deferred action, almost all
the eligible undocumented immigrants are in the process of obtaining
and filing Form I-821D, Consideration of Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals, Form I-765, Application for Employment
Authorization and Form I-765WS, Form I-765 Worksheet.

A request for deferred action can be made at any time during the administrative process, from the time an individual seeks entry to the United States, until final removal. Where it is granted, no action will be taken to remove the individual from the country.
